Sugaring Season Starts for Sherman Hollow

With this unusual winter weather, lots of sugar makers have already been making syrup.  But due to Florida trips and other interferences, we've put off our season until now.  This weekend Pat and Don cleaned up the vacuum house for sap collection, and converted the Chevy Truck for the sap tank that moves sap from the vacuum house to the sugar house.
